Reflection: I felt as though a brochure was best to make for college students on this subject because it holds a lot of information but in a quick way. It is easy for them to see what life is really like at college and learn that there are strategies out there to help them and they aren't the only ones struggling with time management. The most important thing I found about making this brochure is to make it organized and appealing to the eye to pull people in and want to learn about the information you have to offer. Contrast: I used simple colors so the reader isn't overwhelmed because of all the pictures and information as well. This balances it out and makes it more appealing. Repetition: I used the same fonts and text sizes according to the text being a headline or details of that headline. Alignment: The pictures are all aligned to the center and all the text is aligned to the left. The details are aligned with each other and with the titles they are under. Proximity: Everything is separated by topic than by details of that topic. This makes it easy for the reader to find the information they're looking for much faster and easier. Purpose: To get a glimpse of how students manage their time in college with all the new demands and responsibilities. Audience: College students who need help knowing how to manage their time. Genre: Brochure Engagement: To help others with what I struggled with when coming to college by sharing the information I have found through my CLUE project.
Reflection: I found a flyer to be the easiest thing to use to capture a parent's attention. There is so much information thrown at them when it comes to their kids and college therefor I decided it would be best to do something simple but grab their attention at the same time. This technique is straight to the point and an easy process. Contrast: I used three colors, bright yellow (that catches anyone's eye), red (to grab a certain audience's attention and pull them in), and blue (for the details and content of the poster). Repetition: I used all caps for my titles and the same font for all the text on this flyer. Alignment: The titles are centered and the two categories are aligned to each other. Proximity: Time spent at school if grouped together on the left side while the time spent outside of school is grouped together on the right side. Purpose: To show parents how their kids are most likely spending their time at college Audience: Parents of college students Genre: Flyer Engagement: To use the information from my Clue project to help me inform parents what they constantly worry about; what they're kid is doing while away at college
Reflection: For a satire, a flyer is the easiest to make off of because of the simplicity and minimum about to change. While satires exaggerate and are not completely true, there is usually some truth behind it just as this one. Satires tend to be about what most people think but don't say, just as mine does. Contrast: I used three colors, bright yellow (that catches anyone's eye), red (to grab a certain audience's attention and pull them in), and blue (for the details and content of the poster). Repetition: I used all caps for my titles and the same font for all the text on this flyer. This is the exact poster as my original flyer, only some of the context is changed as well as the picture. Alignment: The titles are centered and the two categories are aligned to each other. The picture is aligned to the center as well. Proximity: Time spent at school if grouped together on the left side while the time spent outside of school is grouped together on the right side. Purpose: To make people laugh Audience: College students/ former college students Genre: Satire Engagement: To use the information from my Clue project and turn it into something that exaggerates things and turns it into a joke.
